The project constructs an imagined future, drawing on the soundscapes of the 1980s. It is presented as a surreal, sarcastic kaleidoscope, with the videos genre-wise structured like commercials. The sources of the sound piece are English-language advertisements from the 1980s from the Tyne and Wear Archives in Newcastle, United Kingdom, as well as excerpts from radio programs recorded at Lviv Radio, Lviv, Ukraine, during the same period. The authors reflect on the fears and hopes of the present — shaped by war, burnout, guilt, and the hope for a miracle.

A séance summons a forgotten 1941 storyboard into the present, where its specters get corrupted by algorithmic desire. Replica is a hauntological experiment in resurrecting and reauthoring cinematic memory with AI.
